Belfast Film Festival

The annual Belfast Film Festival is a must for cinephiles and
offers a range of exciting films, a short film competition for up
and coming filmmakers, and plenty of sneak previews. The festival
showcases the best in local cinema but also choice international
films. The organisers aim to be provocative as well as
entertaining, determined to make the festival a platform for debate
tackling the religious, cultural, and social issues in Northern
Ireland and the world.

They are delightfully innovative and creative with their choice
of venues, with past screenings taking place on boats, in historic
buildings, and even on the Thompson dry dock from which the Titanic
departed. A festival pass is available which offers a massive
discount and access to all the films on offer. Tickets can be
booked online via the official website, where the full programme
can also be found. The organisers also screen the odd film during
the rest of the year, pairing classics with atmospheric venues.
